Mark Hoppus Reflects on Robert Smith's Attempted Kiss in New Memoir

The Blink-182 frontman humorously recounts a surprising 2004 encounter with The Cure's Robert Smith while emphasizing their enduring mutual respect.

Mark Hoppus reveals in his memoir 'Fahrenheit-182' that Robert Smith of The Cure tried to kiss him after a 2004 Wembley Arena performance.
The incident occurred during an afterparty where Smith, described as 'feeling saucy,' leaned in for a kiss, leaving Hoppus stunned but amused.
Hoppus admits he wished he had reciprocated the kiss, joking it would have made for an even better story.
Only members of Blink-182's road crew witnessed the moment, and Hoppus has never discussed it with Smith since.
Despite the unexpected encounter, Hoppus emphasizes that Smith has always been gracious, and their relationship remains friendly and respectful.
